Becker Park comes alive Aug. 12 with corn, cars and art

St. Louis Park resident Emily Lavalier, owner of EmLav art, tabled at the first annual Art in the Park event hosted Saturday, Aug. 12 at Becker Park in conjunction with the annual Lions corn feed and car show. Lavalier makes ornate high-density collages full of scenery from Minnesota and abroad.

The annual Crystal Lions corn feed and car show drew a steady crowd Aug. 12 to Becker Park. Warm weather and plenty of sun provided the backdrop while people enjoyed fresh corn on the cob and viewed vintage cars on display.

Joining the event this year was the first annual Art in the Park, where artists and performers set up tents and tables to display their artwork, music, dance and other talents. Buskers performed music and dance, visual artists sold paintings, collages, and work in other mediums.
